LEO ELscAMP.

Our Elscamp has the talent,
If he will give that talent play,
To sport in the SENATE chamber
In a grand and glorious way,
He has the voice and bearing,
Which will raise him to the skies,
If he will only let the girls alone.
And not make sacrifice,
For his country needs his service"
And 'twould be an offering dear.
To throw himself in the way Of a maj
Rimonial career"
But Elscamp's mind is copious
And full OF brilliant thought,
And if ever in an argument
BY you he chance be caught
He would in time convince you,
With a grand and lordly air,
or his knowledge of the Government
And the Presidential chair;
And If you should ever see him
In the Estate Assembly" rule
Remember he was first to graduate
From Potesi's high grade school.

INTRODUCTION.
CLASS PROPHECY OF 81.

My friends and fellow citizens,
Itoyou will tell
The future lives OF these young friends.
Whom you do love so well,
The words in this. my prophecy,
/ cannot verify,
But judging from their past school life,
To speak the truth Ill try,
And now it may appear TO some
My language is too hard,
Perhaps the class will also think
Their character I've marred;
BRIT let them Danish all such thoughts.
And heed my exhortation,
There have been many prophets
But one did all surpass,
Twas the Hebrew prophet Daniel
From the city with gates Of brass;
But we win not now endeavor,
TO measure words with him
But take the boy from out the class
That is so long and slim.

sExA THOMAS.

Next in order is Sena Thomas,
From quiet 'illusrious race"
With a tall and stately carriage
And fine cut English face:'
Her eyes as dark as night shades
That fall upon the shore,
Her sweet face is as dark and bright
As English girls 81 yore,
But all OF these rare beauties viii,
Fade like summer flowers,
For she in single blessedness
will pass her lonely hours,
She will in her declining years
Run a millinery store
And before my eyes ! now can see
Her standing in the door
Now perhrps We are mistaken
As to what she has in view,
But let it be what 'er IL will
She'll not unfold to you.

Temperance Reunion at DodgeYiIle.

Temperance Reunion at DOdgeville.
Every Temperance meeting speaks
for the cause. Reunions and mass
meetings are the results of growing
interests in the temperance issue. The
two chief issues are temperance laws
and temperance teachings. Wherever
such meetings as this one at Dodgeville
are held, new enthusiasm is wakened;
j. @. the ideas of men often lie as if
| asleep till some voice wakens them.
Generally men will waken TO the idea of
helping themselves and saving their
homes instead of making the saloon
keeper rich. The Grand Temperance
Jubilee at Dodgeville June 20, q, %,
has full program, including some
most able speeches. Col. Geo. w. Balm
a Kentucky orator like Villas of Wis
consin, is called the 'silver tongued''
orator. Mr.. V. B. Bennett, of Kansas,
Ex-GoV. John p. st. John, Frank Sibley
Rev. G. III. Mead, Col. Sobriski and the
Silver Lake Quartette make an enter
tainment that temperance workers re-
joice in. All who are not in sympathy
with the temperance work, ought to
read the printed report of the Wiscon-
sin Brewers Association. The books
were intended only for their members,
but by special effort a copy may be Sc
cured. Their own statements are suf-
tieient testimony against them.
The Illinois legislature passed law
recently. prohibiting the sale of cigars

We now take Lydia Wright,
Who Is slightly on the mash,
She win run a country school house
BY laying on the lash,
She win have so many lovers,
From regions now unknown
Who will make such nice proposals
And then be over thrown,
She will teach for many years
And then 60 on the stage,
To deliver declarations,
And be counted as q sage
She win then retire from public,
To some quiet pretty town;
And the dudes viii flock to see her
From all the country round
But at last she'll take a rustic
To life of double bliss,
And seal their new avowal
By one tremendous kiss.

CHICAGO, July 1.-The Times CORES

to have discovered there, yesterday, f. W..

appearance from Chicago was noted in
these dispatches last night.

looking individuals, evidently detectives,
who, it is thought, are taking him on q

tractor, Mic Schneider. Bipper was feel
ing loo uacious and talked freely with the
reporter. He said he would tell all he
knew, and probably be on the stand in
Judge Jamison's court as soon as jury
is secured. He does not wish to go to
Joliet, and is promised immunity if he
testifies without reserve.
"You see," remarked Bipper, "lots of
commissioners have squealed. Oliver
Geilson and others have given away
enough to condemn everybody connected
with certain transactions. Even Vanpell
months ago made statement to Grin
nell, but it was not complete and the
prosecutor refused to receive it."

this morning that the states attorney is
preparing to descend upon the city
boodlers, and that the cases are in such a
shape that they may be started before the
county matter is disposed of. The ar
tlcle states that ex-Warden McGarigle
stands ready to disclose all he knows, and
he claims he is IN possession of facts
which, once made pubic IN court, would
send from twenty to twenty-five of the
city boodlers to Jail. He claims he was
consulted about every deal made, and is,
perhaps, better posted on the inner work
ings of the corrupt city gang than any
other man.
"He can," says the article, "tell most
remarkable story, and if he chooses to I'M
exact sums of money paid by every cor
poration which has been granted rights or
franchises of any sort, kind or descrip'
ton by the city from July, 1884, up to
April, 1887. He can, in word, expose
every corrupt deal entered into by mem
bers of the city council, officers of the po-
lice department and other city officials,
between the dates named. Astonish-
ing as it may seem, however,
Mr.. Grinnell hesitated to accept
his squeal, for no other reason than that
he thinks he can convict the whole gang
of city boodlers without McGarigle's tss-
timony. He believes that the evidence in
his possession is 80 strong and uncontro-
vertable that he will be justified in dis
pensing with any information any of the
boodlers might be willing to furnish,
and the indications are that the only
suuealers who will be called
upon will be those who we're literally
drawn into the various steals. The prin-
cipals will not escape by turning states
evidence"
1t is said that the investigation will be
conducted by special grand jury, as was
the county boodlers' cases. Application
for special grand jury is to be made in
the next three weeks, and it is antici'
pated that all the indictments will be re.
turned before the end of the present
month.

READING, Pa, July 2.-The grand jury
which for two weeks has been investi
eating charges of corruption and mis-
management against county officials, this
morning presented a scattering report
against the accused officers. They say
that they have indicted ten tax collectors
for retaining over $4,000 belonging &c
the county, and using county funds fol
private gain. The county commissioners
and treasurers are charged by the jury
with gross criminality in allowing such 6
state of affairs to exist. The commits
sioners and officers are denounced as 9
nest of corruption, extravaganza and
wanton waste of public money, and the
commissioners, the report asserts, gave
contracts to favorites st exorbitant figures
thus producing grave suspicious of cor
ruption.

AN OLD CHARGE.
A. Llano County Man Arrested for
Murder Committed in
Georgia Nine Years Ago.

Georgia Nine Years Ago.
@. d. Ferris came in from Llano Satur-
day evening with man named Joe Ar
mold, who was arrested day or two ago
on charge of numbering one Patrick Ward
inWare county, Georgia, nine years ago.
Or arriving in this city Ferris turned his
prisoner over to Sheriff Hornsby, and he
was lodged in the county jail. Messrs I. B.
Henderson, sheriff, and j. p. Cason, dep
uty sheriff, of Ware county, are here to
receive the prisoner and take him back to
Georgia, which they will do as soon as the
necessary papers are made out.
Arnold does not deny the killing, but
claims that IL was done in self defense.
He says he did not leave
Georgia to evade trial, but
to get out of the way of relatives of the
man killed, fearing that they would wreak
their vengeance upon him. He expresses
his entire willingness to go back and
stand his trial. After the killing Arnold
came TO this state, settled in Llano county,
where he opened farm and became a
well TODD citizen. He says his only re-
greet now in going back to Georgia is that
he is taken from his family and from his
farm work just at time when both need
his attention urgently. He expresses no
fear as to the result of his trial

Hoar on the Mormon Cancer.

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. Il, 1887.
To the Editor of THE HERALD:
When speaking OF the political issues
before the country. Senator Hoar, on a
recent occasion, is reported to have
said, 1--WE must cut out The Mormon
cancer"
| This EXPIRE sion shows how things
grow. In the days o< the Little
Giant" Douglas, it was a .ioathsome

Is "cancer," whether "loathsomeD or
not. This is rather funny, 10 begin
with.
Douglas swung around the circle
airing his proposal to cut out, the
| loathsome ulcer, and probably thought
to swing himself into the Presidential
chair on that issue. May be Hosr Is
vain enough to cherish similar vain
hope.
Douglas did not cut out the "loath-
some ulcer" Not bit of 1t. On the
contrary. he was Goubly cut olf, FIRST
with the scythe But the "u.cer''
survived. Would it not be well Tor
Hoar TO take the hint in time, and let
the Mormon cancer" alone?
If the Mormon really has cancer,
would it not be best to let them fight it
out. Mormon aud cancer, without out

or cancer would survive. it would be the
old result OF the survival OF the fitte {.
